Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been a couple weeks since you’ve heard from me, first because I was training a new girl at work and was brain-dead by the time I got home, and second because I was on vacation!

Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m sure it’s no surprise by now that I’m a big fan of mermaids (the name of the blog is Mermaids and Margaritas, after all), and in an effort to get myself back to working on Speak the Ocean regularly after life threw me a bunch of jellyfish (the ocean’s equivalent

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been another wild week around here. As some of you already know, my dad started chemo this week and I had a little trouble wrapping my head around it at the beginning of the week. And then I came home on Tuesday to a living room full of dog poo.
Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! This past week has been extremely challenging, emotionally, so once again I’ve gotten barely anything done as far as writing goes. I should finish my current CP project today or tomorrow, and I did manage to polish the sentences in the first scene of StO until they sparkle, but that’s pretty
